Show multiple langagues to ease translation #16

Open mizaki opened 1 week ago

Being able to see the current language and then an additional language I imagine would help speed up translation? For instance, with the edit text dialogue for text layers, have an additional window to show another language.

Also, being able to "fast edit" without going into the full text layer editor would be helpful?

My workflow is that I translate 2-3 bubbles, then hit refresh to see how it looks and check for mistakes. I have one monitor setup, but 2 windows could be helpful for someone with 2 monitors, I guess. Maybe also having an option to move bottom part to a right-hand sidebar or a floating window could help. Different people can have different preferences. I made it like this and it suited me in the past, but now maybe I would prefer floating window for that notebook with frames/text-layers or at least have an option to move it from bottom to the right side. If you can make it optional, so that user can choose his preferred layout in preferences, that would be cool. Also having a shorcut to switch quickly between last two used text-layers could help. For frames drawing, I usually hit "H" to hide everything besides the drawing window.

It may also be helpful to have a window with the image section of the bubble in the text edit window?

GeoRW commented 1 week ago

Not sure about. In some cases it may be very big, sometimes even almost whole page.

Mostly it would be text bubbles?

Also, how about a "Next" and "Previous" in the text edit dialogue to move to the next text?

That window is quite small and can be moved around easily, so I would rather keep it like that. Adding "Next"/"Previous" button sounds good, maybe also adding those shortcuts for emphasis/strong... tags to a toolbar can help new users to discover all options (or maybe better just add help button so the toolbar is not too big here)
